| Plan term | ShedRx | NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) | Cheaper |

ShedRx publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 2.4 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $2,914 on ShedRx and $4,188 on NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) — $1,274 apart, and a different gap from the $1,200 you would get by multiplying the monthly difference by twelve. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: ShedRx publishes no price at 3 of the 5 doses, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 54.0 for ShedRx and 45.9 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy), against a semaglutide category floor of $129. ShedRx leads by 8.1 points, driven mostly by price.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ShedRx | 36.3 | 12.8 | 0 | 5 | 54.0 |
| NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) | 25.9 | 15.0 | 0 | 5 | 45.9 |
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
ShedRx is cheaper month to month — $249 against $349, a gap of $100 every month, or $1,200 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: ShedRx states Cancel before renewal, while NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) states No subscription lock. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
ShedRx asks for Month-to-month; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) asks for None. This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. ShedRx's figure is provider-stated and NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy)'s is verified. NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $2,988 for ShedRx and $4,188 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy). ShedRx is lower by $1,200 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Dose policy
Both price by dose, so both advertised figures understate the cost of a titration year. Compare the ladders above rather than the headline rates.
Membership fee
Neither charges a separate membership fee.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.

Which molecules each one carries
ShedRx carries tirzepatide at $289 a month and semaglutide at $249 a month.
NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) carries semaglutide at $349 a month; does not offer tirzepatide.
